Welcome to my delightful Tangerine Dream MIL apartment, in the heart of the West Seattle Junction! This colorful and cozy mother-in-law apartment, is privately located on the lower level of The Adorable Sweet Orange Craftsman. Guests enjoy a spacious open floor plan, surrounded by beautiful tile mosaics, rich colors and terra-cotta floors with large area rugs. This artistic haven occupies 900 sq ft with 2 bedrooms (queens) and 1 full bath. The bedrooms are located at opposite ends of the apartment from each other, and have large custom fabric doorways. There is private and secure access to a separate laundry room.

The Tangerine was carefully designed and built for nesting in a creative space, so indulge your inner artist and invite yourself to relax. When the sun beckons you, throw open your french doors to a bright, backyard foliage garden, with privacy fencing and wisteria-covered wooden trellises. Enjoy a meal on your spacious ground-level deck, rain or shine, that you prepared in your well-stocked kitchen or on your Stok charcoal BBQ, located a few steps into the garden. Custom pine cabinets anoint this darling kitchen. Clean up with a handy little Swedish dishwasher (unfortunately out of commission right now). When the rains come, snuggle up to your sweet, gas fireplace in the living room. Enjoy a movie on your flat screen HDTV or access the WiFi anywhere, inside and out.

Ready to adventure? Walk out the door! In 2 short blocks you are in the heart of The Junction, West Seattle's hip urban scene, with something for everyone. Dozen's of shops and yummy restaurants, a playhouse, the fabulous Bakery Nouveau and a Sunday Farmer's Market are all clustered here. Alki Beach is only 2 mi away, the quintessential NW beach park, Lincoln Park and Vashon Ferry dock are 1.5 mi away. The downtown water taxi shuttle and city bus transit exchange are right here! Get on an 18-hole golf course .5 mi away. Take stand-up paddle board lessons, with the most amazing view of downtown, 1.5 miles away.

You could spend you entire trip in West Seattle, though you wouldn't want to miss downtown, the heart of which is 6 miles away. Jump on the Rapid Ride bus or take the fun downtown water taxi, and be in there in 15 min. Two world class sports stadiums are 5 miles away and the airport is only 12 miles south! The Tangerine Dream is the perfect base for exploring Seattle, with or without a car. If you bring a car, you'll be pleased to have an off-street parking space, right outside your entry gate.

Come savor a sweet, juicy slice or Tangerine!


Important Tidbits to Note:

I take my cues about guest interaction from my guests. From time to time, I come around to water and tend to the garden. I can make arrangements with guests to do this at a time that suits them best, if desired. I welcome guest contact for anything that comes up (I live 2 miles away), and I am respectful of a guests desire for privacy. I value and practice good communication!

The Tangerine Dream welcomes guests who are considerate and respectful of all the care and love that have gone into creating this special place. Wild ones or loud night owls will be a better fit elsewhere. There are quieter hours from 10pm-8am. The Sweet Orange occupies the main floor. Please bring your happy vibe and take good care of my house, and you will have a great time!
